Nyaiwait Chiwayp / In Our Words: Kumeyaay–Songs of Knowledge

This forum is provided to share news and ideas affecting Native American Communities. A large part of that effort is helping to facilitate increased cultural understanding of those Native communities, past and present.

In this vein, Procopio is proud and honored to sponsor Nyaiwait Chiwayp / In Our Words: Kumeyaay, the San Diego History Center’s 2018 yearlong speaker series from the Kumeyaay Community which demonstrates and discusses the richness of Kumeyaay culture and history, from the Kumeyaay people themselves.

The second program in the series—Songs of Knowledge: Kumeyaay Song Cycles—will be presented on April 4 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Atrium/Thornton Theater (1649 El Prado, Balboa Park, San Diego). Advanced registration is required (the first presentation sold out!), and can obtained here. Should you be unable to attend, check back to this post, as we will be posting the video of each presentation on The Blogging Circle.

The first lecture, California Creation Myth: The fabrication of a mythical past and its impacts on the Kumeyaay Story, was presented by Michael Connolly Miskwish, M.A., and Theresa Gregor, Ph.D in February. That presentation can be found here. Stay tuned for additional presentations throughout the year!
